Thank you so much for your patience this week as we implemented a safer pick-up
system. We have more than cut our time in half this week, and will continue to
make adjustments to help improve the process. Please click on DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT below for more information on the new system.

Congratulations to Kurt Noack, the 2015-16 District Outstanding Volunteer of the Year. He is an essential part of the Nixon school community. He volunteers every day for as many as 7 hours. He listens, interacts, and challenges students as they read. He keeps them focused as they take reading counts tests. He plays math games. He is a lunch buddy.

Bring your young child to the Downtown Cedar Rapids Public Library and receive free vision, hearing, dental and developmental screenings. The health screenings are for any child between 6 months & 5 years.​

About 750 students with low reading assessment scores from Cedar Rapids Community schools will be invited to attend six weeks of free courses this summer, thanks to funding from a grant announced Thursday.​
